Things that are WAAY overdue
Peace On Earth, Goodwill Toward Men... sure, we all know we've been waiting a long time to see those things happen. But there are other things we've been waiting on, too, that are long overdue to get here and make all our lives easier. So, let's mention a few of those things here.

I'll start off with something I think is waay overdue: A single key-fob or similar device, probably thumbprint-verified or something, that opens every lock I own, from my house, to my car, my luggage, my jewelry box, my P.O. box, my office drawers... and even my electronic locks and coded devices. I'm tired of a pocketful of keys and a bunch of passwords!

Flying cars and moving sidewalks, buildings built up high in the sky on stilts, motorized treadmills for walking the dog, Spacely's Sprockets, food that cooks itself and cleans the kitchen at the touch of a button, plump robot housekeepers, you see where I'm going with this ...

Flying cars? Did someone say flying cars?

A return to the moon, is my serious answer. FTW?

I'll see your moon flight and raise you a world-wide clean drinking water.

EDIT: An I want one of Steve's fobs. Preferably implanted into my fingertip, so it would always be ready and never be lost. Except, of course, for the occasional farm combine accident.

Arff ! As soon as I read Steve's post, I thought about that !

PS : As I'm currently reading/viewing Star Trek, it's not strange ! If you add at this all the time lost in public transports... Now, wait, when I'm in public transports, I read...

I think they already have the motorized treadmills for walking the dog . . . It's okay, we know you've been away and out of touch.

And they have the moving sidewalks at airport terminals too.

I am looking forward to the instant food preparation box from Star Trek's Enterprise though. If I had that, I'd clean the kitchen myself.

Agreed! Cyborg monkeys are the first step to the glorious future. But I will not be happy until I can visit a robot zoo and watch the robot monkeys flinging their batteries at the viewers!

You know those replicators probably use "previously owned" organic matter, right?
